This week I started an experiment. I wanted to know whether I would be able to completely ditch tmux. Don’t get me wrong here, I absolutely love how tmux makes terminal multiplexing transparent for me. I’m also very used to <C-b>c, <C-b>1-0 and so on. I also have a custom set of keymaps and plugins I use frequently…
“Clean code” is so over: all the cool kids are switching to CRISP code . I’ll show you how to achieve it in five catchy, T-shirt-friendly slogans.
I'm normally a fan of the rigidity within the Go toolchain
Asynchronous IO (also known as "non-blocking IO") is a technique applications use to allow performing of many IO operations without blocking the calling OS thread, and without needing to spawn many threads (i.e. one thread per operation). In the late 1990s/early 2000s, an increasing amount of people using the internet…
Part of the Go 2 series of language changes is a new error inspection proposal .
Riffling from factory order to complete randomness.
Is it reasonable to expect mere mortals to have mastery over every facet of the development stack? Probably not, but Facebook can ask for it. I was told at OSCON by a Facebook employee that they only hire 'Full Stack' developers. Well, what does that mean? To me, a Full Stack Developer is someone with
When the textile industry arose in the 18th century, craft was the norm in manufacturing. As the industrial revolution progressed, one after another sector of the economy made the transition from c…
We are in the midst of a Ruby drama for the ages. I'm sure a bunch of people figured we were all too old for this shit, but apparently we are not. This debate…
I’ve been posting much longer articles than I meant to, so today’s will be short. [Later: but, as it turns out, not as short as I intended.] When I was fourteen, I wrote space-invader …

GraphQL offers a lot more than reduced round trips.
I see a lot of new terms like Command-Event, Event-Based Compute, etc., presented around Event-Driven Architecture. Let me clear that up because there are no such things…
The Context I have been recently roaming. Doing some Zig, doing some Go, some Janet. Some C integration. Should have focused on my project but life threw more at me than I could handle, so I sought… happy distractions. My experience with those technologies taught me new tricks and one day, when I needed some more…
My preferred deployment stack for Python-built static sites.
This document is an attempt to be a fairly comprehensive guide to recovering from what you did not mean to do when using git. It isn't that git is so complicated that you need a large document to take care of your particular problem, it is more that the set of things that you might have done is so large that different…
The four-pane System Browser has shaped Smalltalk development for forty years. It’s still brilliant at providing context. But the real problem may not be the browser itself—it may be the lack of composition between the tools that surround it.
Zooko provides a nice example of the problems with most distributed version control systems merge algorithms. He gives an example of a merge situation that most version control systems, including git, get wrong, but that darcs, Codeville, SCCS, and perhaps BitKeeper get correct.
Why I built superlite, an autonomous build workflow for Claude Code that doesn't ask permission every four minutes: how it works, how to use it, and the benchmarks.
Still not really about LAPACK. It's a second part of the “outperforming” series explaining how the C++ metaprogramming can appear useful for efficient code generation.
